"Z-Max" is similar to "Galaxian" but has too many
new weapons and other goodies to be called a clone!  You
may shoot diagonally, as well as straight up, but so can
your enemies.  Weapons available include a shield, your
"normal shot," Fireballs, Wisps, and the mighty Comet-
Missile!  The shareware version will only play two levels
(and won't let you fight one of the kinds of enemies) but
for less than $10.00 you can get the full version.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

-Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher
-One megabyte of free disk space
-486 or faster CPU
-486DX2-66 or faster recommended
-Sound Card optional

Known bugs:

-Collision-detection with moving enemy clusters is sometimes flakey.

-Missiles sometimes explode twice (it was a neat bug, so I kept it).

-As with almost all Windows programs, Z-Max has a mysterious
 "General Protection Fault" once in a blue moon.  If it happens
 a lot, cold start and it should behave.
